North Pacific Region Costa Rica Real Estate

Sunny days, awesome surf and stunning beaches are three ways that best describe the North Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. Entirely encompassed by Guanacaste province, this part of the country is the most visited, yet it is also one of the least populated parts of Costa Rica.

Among the best and the easiest access to the diving spots in the country, the North Pacific Coast has an abundance of marine life, especially around Santa Catalina Island area, Coco Beach and Ocotal Beach.

Today, areas like Tamarindo are also becoming increasingly popular and little fishing villages are exploding all over the place, with more and more foreigners wanting to move here to find a piece of paradise.

The beaches in the North Pacific Coast are some of the most beautiful beaches in the entire country. They are vast and always sunny, with endless coves and pristine shorelines just a short walk away from one another. Some of these areas are quickly being developed with luxurious resorts, while others are still small fishing villages just waiting to be discovered.

Compared to other parts of Costa Rica, the climate along the North Pacific Coast is typically hot and dry. It is home to vast expansions of tropical dry forests that often line the beaches. This area plays host to a great array of animals including many species of sea birds and monkeys. There is the Marino Las Baulas National Park, north Tamarindo, where every year hundreds of leatherback turtles come ashore to lay their eggs.

Perhaps one of the most interesting aspects to emerge from this region has been the Guanacaste cowboy. With this area nicknamed the "Wild West" of Costa Rica, in the recent years many cattle ranches have sprung up around the place.
